Traders at Shrewsbury Market Hall are celebrating after making the shortlist for a top national award for the second year in a row.

The market, which was crowned ‘Britain’s Favourite Market 2018’ last January, has made it to the final top 10 of British markets for the 2019 title after tens of thousands of public votes were cast nationwide.

Shrewsbury will now go through to the next round of judging, which will involve a visit by secret shoppers, along with markets in Chester, Leeds, Skipton, Barnsley, Bury, Cardiff, Preston, St George’s Market in Belfast and Waterside at Stratford-upon-Avon.
